Vanquish gets a release date and three-weapon pack

SEGA and Platinum Games’ upcoming fast paced action shooter Vanquish finally has a release date. Hot off the heels of the announcement that Japan would see the game on October 21st, comes the news that Europe will have the game in hand one day later on the 22nd.

While there is no current word of a North American release date, we imagine it’ll be around the same time frame.
In addition to announcing the European release date, SEGA have kicked off their pre-order campaign by offering a super powered three-weapon pack as a bonus for those who reserve the game.

The Tri-Weapon Pack contains three new guns that will be sure to bring the pain to any enemy soldier who try to get in your way. It includes the Boost Machine Gun, Anti-Armor Pistol, and our personal favorite, the Laser Cannon. It’s a known fact that lasers make everything better.

For some more screenshots of these weapons in action, head on over to the SEGA Blog. Remember, mark your calendars for October 22nd and be sure to get your pre-order in if you want to get hold of those ultra-powerful weapons.
